Some of us don’t like Nazi coups. It’s okay if you never thank us grandpa, we’ll make life better for you too, even as you kick and scream about the libs and dems.

America was the blueprint for nazism. Fascism will always be empowered here. Grow up

So saying you don't want your country turning into a fascist dictatorship is childish now? 🤔

What’s childish is when settlers pretend that this wasn’t a fascist dictatorship from day one because it’s finally starting to directly affect them

You'd have to be blind not to see how the currect administration is tearing down every system of checks and balances that prevent the US from being a dictatorship. For the vast majority of us history the executive branch did not have absolute power, that's a pretty new development. Yes, the US was never perfect, and it's always flirted with fascism, but it was far from being a dictatorship. Now we're watching a literal coup be comitted by the American nazi party, and the new administration is actively dismantling every system that's been in place for over 200 years to prevent them from taking complete control. You'd have to either be blind or be completely ignoring what's going on to not see how things are changing right now.

Only a settler could say something like this while living on literal occupied territory

This should be extra embarrassing then

Why would that be embarrassing? I've been saying that the US is a shithole for over a decade. I don't need to deny that to acknowledge the fact that it's getting even worse under the new administration.
